Construction is underway on Phase 2 of the Symons Valley Library in Calgary, a community hub taking shape in the community of Sage Hill.

Anticipated to open in 2028, the 15,000-square-foot, full-service library will include collections, a dedicated 1,800-square-foot children’s library, open seating areas, public meeting rooms, and a larger community room.

Phase 2 also includes an outdoor community commons where people can meet, relax and play. Dialog is architect and CANA Construction is the general contractor.

“Symons Valley Library is an investment in the people and communities of northwest Calgary. This project will bring together important amenities, including a new library, public gathering spaces, and future community services such as a Calgary Transit Terminal, helping create a vibrant destination where residents can connect, learn and thrive,” said Mayor Jeromy Farkas.

When complete, Symons Valley Library will welcome residents to a new community space designed to support the needs of one of Calgary’s fastest-growing areas. Future planned phases for this site include the development of adjoining land parcels dedicated for non-market housing and mixed-use development, as well as a Calgary Transit terminal. By co-locating public amenities within a walkable, community-focused environment, the project will create opportunities for connection, recreation and learning close to home.

“After years of advocacy, I’m proud to see this project moving forward and becoming a reality for our growing community. This new purpose-built library will provide a modern, welcoming space designed to meet local needs,” said Jennifer Wyness, councillor for Ward 2.
